FIG. 11 is a flowchart of output processing according to the second embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 9, the document D is an answer sheet, and a document image 320 is formed on the document D. The document image 320 includes a first character string 321, a second character string 322, a third character string 323, and an examination number display field 312.

As shown in FIG. 10, an output image 330 is formed on the sheet T. The output image 330 includes a first character string 321, a second character string 322, and a third character string 323. The output image 330 includes an examination number display field 312. The output image 330 shown in FIG. 10 differs from the original image 320 shown in FIG. 9 in that the first character string 321 is highlighted. Specifically, the first character string 321 included in the output image 330 is formed on the sheet T as an image indicating a bold character string.

Next, output processing according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In step S201 in FIG. 11, the control unit 10 controls the image reading unit 110 so that the image reading unit 110 reads an image from the document D shown in FIG. When the image reading unit 110 reads a document image from the document D, the processing unit 102 acquires a document image 320 (image data of the document image).

In step S202, the control unit 10 determines whether or not the detection unit 30 has detected the second movement locus 250 on the display unit 20 (detection unit 30). Specifically, based on the signal transmitted from the detection unit 30, the control unit 10 determines whether or not the movement trajectory of the touch pen is a trajectory that surrounds some of the seat images 201 among the plurality of seat images 201. If it is determined that the second movement locus 250 is not detected (No in step S202), the process proceeds to step S102 in FIG. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S202 in FIG. 11 that the second movement locus 250 has been detected (Yes in step S202), the process proceeds to step S203.

In step S203, the processing unit 102 specifies the type of figure indicated by the second movement locus 250 by pattern matching. In the example illustrated in FIG. 8, the processing unit 102 identifies the type of the graphic indicated by the second movement trajectory 251 in the second movement trajectory 250 as an ellipse and the type of the graphic indicated by the second movement trajectory 252 as a rectangle. The type of the figure indicated by the second movement locus 253 is specified as a triangle.

In step S204, the processing unit 102 identifies the seat image 201 surrounded by the second movement locus 250. In the example illustrated in FIG. 8, the processing unit 102 has the three seat images 201 (identification numbers “A001”, “A002”, “A”) in the leftmost column illustrated in FIG. 8 as the seat image 201 surrounded by the second movement locus 251. And “A003” seat). Further, the processing unit 102 sets three seat images 201 (identification numbers “B001”, “B002”, and “B002” in the second column from the left shown in FIG. 8 as the seat images 201 surrounded by the second movement locus 252. B003 "seat). Further, the processing unit 102 sets the three seat images 201 (identification numbers “D001”, “D002”, and “D003” in the rightmost column illustrated in FIG. 8) as the seat images 201 surrounded by the second movement locus 253. Seat).

In step S205, when the processing unit 102 acquires the first processing information from the storage unit 40 based on the type of graphic indicated by the second movement locus 250, the process proceeds to step S102 in FIG. Specifically, in step S <b> 205 of FIG. 11, the processing unit 102 selects the first corresponding to each of the second movement locus 251, the second movement locus 252, and the second movement locus 253 out of the second movement locus 250. Processing information is read from the storage unit 40. For example, the first process information corresponding to the second movement locus 251 indicates a process of emphasizing the first character string 321 (character string “EEE”) in the document image 320 illustrated in FIG. 9. The first process corresponding to the second movement locus 252 indicates a process of emphasizing the second character string 322 (character string “FFF”) in the document image 320. Further, the first process corresponding to the second movement locus 253 indicates a process of emphasizing the third character string 323 (character string “GGG”) in the document image 320.

Subsequently, a process executed by the control unit 10 after it is determined that the second movement locus 250 is not detected (No in Step S202) and after the first process information is acquired (Step S205) will be described. That is, the processing after step S102 in FIG. 7 will be described. In the processing after step S102, the second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the processing in step S106. Hereinafter, the points of the second embodiment different from the first embodiment will be mainly described.

7, the processing unit 102 generates an output image 330 corresponding to the selected seat image 201. Specifically, as in the first embodiment (see FIG. 6), the processing unit 102 includes the document image 320 (document image 320) so that the output image 330 includes identification information associated with the selected seat image 201. For the image data). Note that the process of including the identification information in the output image 330 is not essential in the second embodiment, and can be canceled by setting the system. Further, when there is a second movement locus 250 surrounding the selected seat image 201, the processing unit 102 performs the first process associated with the graphic indicated by the second movement locus 250 on the original image 320 (image data of the original image 320). ). For example, if the selected seat image 201 is surrounded by the second movement locus 251, the processing unit 102 processes the document image 320 so that the character string “EEE” described with reference to FIG. 9 is highlighted. To do. If the selected seat image 201 is surrounded by the second movement locus 252, the processing unit 102 highlights the second character string 322 “FFF” in the document image 320 described with reference to FIG. 9. Then, processing is performed on the document image 320. If the selected seat image 201 is surrounded by the second movement locus 253, the processing unit 102 highlights the third character string 323 “GGG” in the document image 320 described with reference to FIG. Then, the document image 320 is processed.

As described above with reference to FIG. 7 and FIGS. 8 to 11, according to the image forming apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, the process associated with the type of figure indicated by the second movement locus 250 (first Processing) can be executed on the document image 320 to generate an output image 330. Therefore, a plurality of sheets T on which various output images 330 are formed can be easily distributed to a plurality of seats.

In the third embodiment, the control unit 10 generates an output image (image data indicating the output image) based on the third movement locus 231. Hereinafter, the points of the third embodiment different from the first and second embodiments will be described.

The detection unit 30 according to the third embodiment further detects the third movement locus 231 on the display unit 20 (detection unit 30). The detection unit 30 transmits a signal indicating the detected third movement locus 231 to the control unit 10. The third movement locus 231 indicates the movement locus of the touch pen outside the seat area 232 of the display unit 20. The seat area 232 indicates an area in the display unit 20 where a plurality of seat images 201 are displayed. In the present embodiment, the seat area 232 is a rectangular area that includes all of the plurality of seat images 201.

As shown in FIG. 12, the third movement locus 231 is connected (drawn with a single stroke) to the first movement locus 210 at the start point of the first movement locus 210. The shape of the third movement locus 231 shown in FIG. 12 is substantially circular. The processing unit 102 identifies the type of figure indicated by the third movement locus 231 by pattern matching. Specifically, the processing unit 102 specifies that the figure type indicated by the third movement locus 231 is circular by pattern matching.

When the processing unit 102 specifies the type of figure indicated by the third movement locus 231, the processing unit 102 executes the second process. The second process is a process associated with the type of graphic indicated by the third movement locus 231. The storage unit 40 stores a table in which data indicating the type of graphic indicated by the third movement locus 231 is associated with data indicating the second process (second process information). The processing unit 102 reads out from the storage unit 40 the second processing information associated with the figure type indicated by the third movement locus 231. The processing unit 102 performs a second process indicated by the second processing information read from the storage unit 40 on the document image (image data of the document image). For example, the second process corresponding to the circular third movement locus 231 indicates a process of including the name in the output image as personal identification information.

Next, output processing according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 7, 13, and 14. FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of an output product (sheet T) of the image forming apparatus 1 according to the third embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 13, an output image 340 is formed on the sheet T. The output image 340 is an image showing an answer sheet distributed to each seat in a classroom or a test venue. The output image 340 includes a plurality of answer fields 311, an examination number display field 312, and a name display field 313. An image (image “A001”) indicating the examination number is formed in the display field 312. In the display column 313, an image indicating the name (image “XXX”) is formed.

Next, the output process of the third embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 7, FIG. 11, and FIG. FIG. 14 is a flowchart of output processing according to the third embodiment.

In step S301 of FIG. 14, the control unit 10 controls the image reading unit 110 so that the image reading unit 110 reads a document image from a document. When the image reading unit 110 reads the document image from the document, the processing unit 102 acquires the document image (document image data). In the present embodiment, the document image acquired by the processing unit 102 includes an image (image “A001”) indicating an examination number formed in the display field 312 in the output image 340 described with reference to FIG. This is an image that does not include the image (name “XXX”) indicating the name formed in the display field 313.

In step S302, the control unit 10 determines whether or not the detection unit 30 has detected the third movement locus 231 by the touch pen on the display unit 20 (detection unit 30). Specifically, the control unit 10 determines whether or not the movement trajectory of the touch pen is a trajectory outside the seat area 232 based on a signal transmitted from the detection unit 30. If it is determined that the third movement locus 231 is not detected (No in step S302), the process proceeds to step S202 in FIG. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S302 of FIG. 14 that the third movement locus 231 has been detected (Yes in step S302), the process proceeds to step S303.

In step S303, the processing unit 102 specifies the type of figure indicated by the third movement locus 231 by pattern matching. In the example illustrated in FIG. 12, the processing unit 102 identifies the type of graphic indicated by the third movement locus 231 as a circle.

In step S304, the processing unit 102 acquires the second processing information from the storage unit 40 based on the type of graphic indicated by the third movement locus 231. Specifically, the processing unit 102 acquires second processing information corresponding to the circular third movement locus 231. In the present embodiment, the second process corresponding to the circular third movement locus 231 indicates, for example, a process of forming an image indicating a name in the display field 313. Next, the process proceeds to step S202 in FIG.

Subsequently, a process executed by the control unit 10 after it is determined that the third movement locus 231 is not detected (No in Step S302) and after the second process information is acquired (Step S304) will be described. That is, the process after step S202 of FIG. 11 is demonstrated. In the processing after step S202, the third embodiment differs from the first and second embodiments in the processing in step S106 in FIG. Hereinafter, the points of the third embodiment different from the first and second embodiments will be mainly described.

7, the processing unit 102 generates an output image 340 (image data of the output image 340) corresponding to the selected seat image 201. Specifically, as in the first embodiment (see FIG. 6), the processing unit 102 reads the document so that an image indicating the examination number (image “A001”) is included in the output image 340 (see FIG. 13). Processing is performed on an image (image data of an original image). Note that the process of including the image indicating the examination number in the output image 340 is not essential in the third embodiment, and can be canceled by setting the system. Further, when it is determined that the third movement locus 231 has been detected (Yes in step S302), the processing unit 102, as shown in FIG. 13, shows an image indicating the name on the output image 340 (image “XXX”). ”) Is included in the document image (image data of the document image).

As described above with reference to FIGS. 7, 11, and 12 to 14, the image forming apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment performs the original image (original document) according to the type of figure indicated by the third movement locus 231. The third process can be executed on the image data. Therefore, various processes can be executed in accordance with the type of graphic indicated by the third movement locus 231. As a result, the user can obtain various output images 340 from the original image, and can easily distribute the sheet T on which the various output images 340 are formed to a plurality of seats.

Note that the first movement locus 210 shown in FIG. 12 is different from the first movement locus 210 shown in FIG. According to the first movement trajectory 210 illustrated in FIG. 12, the determination unit 101 sets the order of the seat image 201 (the seat with the identification number “A003”) positioned at the tail (bottom) of the leftmost column to “No. ”And the order of the seat image 201 (the seat with the identification number“ A002 ”) located second from the top of the leftmost column is determined as“ No. 3 ”. Thereby, even when the person seated in the seat (seated person) is changed, an irregular order is set with respect to the arrangement of the seat image 201 as in the first movement locus 210 shown in FIG. Can do.

As described above with reference to FIG. 12, according to the image forming apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, the trajectory drawn by the first movement trajectory 210 (the order of the seat image 201 in which the detected object moves) is changed. By doing so, the order of outputting the plurality of sheets T can be changed. As a result, when the seated person is switched, a plurality of seats T can be output according to the seating order of the replaced seated person.

In addition, the correction process which corrects the seating chart image 200 can be set as a process linked | related with the figure which the 3rd movement locus | trajectory 231 shows. Specifically, the user can set a correction process for correcting the seating chart image 200 as a process associated with the circular third movement locus 231. When the correction process for correcting the seating chart image 200 is set in the circular third movement locus 231, the processing unit 102 draws the composite locus 230 illustrated in FIG. 12 on the display unit 20 (detection unit 30). In this case, the arrangement of the plurality of seat images 201 in the seating chart image 200 is changed according to the order determined by the determination unit 101. In the example illustrated in FIG. 12, the processing unit 102 and the position of the second seat image 201 (the seat with the identification number “A001”) from the top in the leftmost column of the seating chart image 200 and the third seat image 201 ( The position of the seat with the identification number “A003” is switched. As a result, the seating chart image 200 can be easily corrected to correspond to the actual seating order.

In the third embodiment, the start or end of the third movement locus 231 and the end or start of the first movement locus 210 can be connected. Specifically, the user moves the touch pen so as to draw the third movement locus 231 outside the seat area 232, and then continues the first movement without separating the touch pen from the display unit 20 (detection unit 30). The touch pen is moved so as to draw the locus 210. Accordingly, the user can move the touch pen so as to draw the third movement locus 231 and the first movement locus 210 with a single stroke. As a result, the third movement locus 231 and the first movement locus 210 are easily input to the control unit 10.

In the third embodiment, the start or end of the third movement locus 231 and the end or beginning of the first movement locus 210 may not be connected. For example, the user moves the touch pen so as to draw the third movement locus 231 outside the seat area 232, once the touch pen is separated from the display unit 20 (detection unit 30), and then draws the first movement locus 210. You can move the touch pen. Therefore, the user can move the touch pen so as to draw the third movement locus 231 and the first movement locus 210 separately (discontinuously) instead of writing with a single stroke. As a result, for example, after drawing the third movement locus 231, the user can draw the first movement locus 210 after reconfirming the order of setting for the plurality of seat images 201. Thereby, the user can set the order convenient for distributing a plurality of seats T to each seat accurately.

<< Embodiment 4 >>
Next, Embodiment 4 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 7, FIG. 14, and FIGS. FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an example of the composite trajectory 240 according to the fourth embodiment. Specifically, FIG. 15 is a diagram in which a composite locus 240 is drawn on the seating chart image 200 shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, the composite trajectory 240 includes a fourth movement trajectory 241 and a first movement trajectory 210. FIG. 16 illustrates an example of an output product (sheet T) of the image forming apparatus 1 according to the fourth embodiment.

In the third embodiment, the control unit 10 generates an output image (image data of the output image) based on the third movement locus 231. In the fourth embodiment, the control unit 10 generates an output image (image data of the output image) based on the fourth movement locus 241. Hereinafter, differences of the fourth embodiment from the first to third embodiments will be described.

The detection unit 30 according to the fourth embodiment further detects the fourth movement locus 241 on the display unit 20 (detection unit 30). A fourth movement locus 241 indicates the movement locus of the touch pen inside the seat area 232. The detection unit 30 transmits a signal indicating the detected fourth movement locus 241 to the control unit 10.

As shown in FIG. 15, the plurality of fourth movement tracks 241 are drawn inside the seat area 232. Each fourth movement locus 241 is drawn so as to overlap with one seat image 201. In addition, each of the plurality of fourth movement trajectories 241 has a substantially circular shape. The control unit 10 specifies the type of figure indicated by each of the fourth movement trajectories 241 by pattern matching. Specifically, the control unit 10 specifies the type of figure indicated by each of the fourth movement tracks 241 as a circle. In the present embodiment, the plurality of fourth movement tracks 241 are connected to the first movement track 210 (drawn with a single stroke).

The processing unit 102 identifies the seat image 201 located inside the movement locus of the touch pen among the plurality of seat images 201 as the seat image 201 surrounded by the movement locus (fourth movement locus 241) of the touch pen. The processing unit 102 performs the third process corresponding to the seat image 201 identified as being surrounded by the fourth movement locus 241 among the plurality of seat images 201. The third process is a process associated with the type of graphic indicated by the fourth movement locus 241. The storage unit 40 stores a table in which graphic type data indicated by the fourth movement locus is associated with data indicating the third process (third process information). The control unit 10 reads out the third processing information from the storage unit 40 based on the type of graphic indicated by the fourth movement locus 241. The processing unit 102 and the image forming unit 140 perform the third process indicated by the third processing information on the document image (image data of the document image) corresponding to the seat image 201 specified by the fourth movement locus 241. Execute. The third process information indicates, for example, a process of deleting a specific character string from the document image, a process of making a specific display field blank, and a process of not forming an output image on the sheet T.

Next, output processing according to the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

As shown in FIG. 16, an output image 350 is formed on the sheet T. The output image 350 is an image showing an answer sheet distributed to each seat in a classroom or a test venue. The output image 350 includes a plurality of answer fields 311, an examination number display field 312, and a name display field 313. The display column 312 and the display column 313 are blank.

Next, output processing according to the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 7, FIG. 14, and FIG. FIG. 17 is a flowchart of output processing according to the fourth embodiment.

In step S401 in FIG. 17, the control unit 10 controls the image reading unit 110 so that the image reading unit 110 reads a document image from a document. When the image reading unit 110 reads a document image from a document, the processing unit 102 acquires a document image (image data indicating the document image). In the present embodiment, the document image is the same image as the output image 350 described with reference to FIG.

In step S402, the control unit 10 determines whether or not the detection unit 30 has detected the fourth movement locus 241 by the touch pen on the display unit 20 (detection unit 30). Specifically, based on the signal transmitted from the detection unit 30, the control unit 10 determines whether or not the movement path of the touch pen is a path inside the seat area 232. If it is determined that the fourth movement locus 241 is not detected (No in step S402), the process proceeds to step S302 in FIG. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S402 in FIG. 17 that the fourth movement locus 241 has been detected (Yes in step S402), the process proceeds to step S403.

In step S403, the processing unit 102 identifies the type of figure indicated by the fourth movement locus 241 by pattern matching. Specifically, the processing unit 102 identifies the type of the figure indicated by the fourth movement locus 241 as a circle.

In step S404, the processing unit 102 acquires the third processing information from the storage unit 40 based on the figure type indicated by the fourth movement locus 241, and the process proceeds to step S302 in FIG. Specifically, in step S404 of FIG. 17, the processing unit 102 acquires third processing information corresponding to the circular fourth movement locus 241. In the present embodiment, the third process corresponding to the circular fourth movement locus 241 indicates, for example, a process that does not include the image indicating the examination number in the output image 350.

Subsequently, a process executed by the control unit 10 after it is determined that the fourth movement locus 241 is not detected (No in Step S402) and after the third process information is acquired (Step S404) will be described. That is, the processing after step S302 in FIG. 14 will be described. In the processing after step S302, the fourth embodiment differs from the first to third embodiments in the processing in step S106 in FIG. Hereinafter, differences between the first embodiment and the third embodiment will be mainly described.

7, the processing unit 102 generates an output image 350 (image data of the output image 350) corresponding to the selected seat image 201. Specifically, when the fourth movement locus does not overlap the selected seat image 201, the processing unit 102 includes an image indicating the examination number in the output image, as in the first embodiment (see FIG. 6). In addition, processing is performed on the document image (image data of the document image). On the other hand, when the fourth movement locus 241 overlaps the selected seat image 201, the processing unit 102, as shown in FIG. 16, does not include the image indicating the examination number in the output image 350. Processing is performed on (image data of the document image).

As described above with reference to FIGS. 7, 14, and 15 to 17, the image forming apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment uses the seat specified by the fourth movement locus 241 among the plurality of seat images 201. Corresponding to the image 201, a fourth process (a process associated with the figure type indicated by the fourth movement locus 241) is executed. Therefore, an output image 350 different from the other seat images 201 can be formed on the sheet T distributed to the specific seat image 201. As a result, for example, when a test taker who is different from the scheduled test taker sits in a specific seat, the image showing the test number and name is not formed as an answer sheet for distribution to the specific seat An answer sheet can be distributed.

In the fourth embodiment, the fourth movement locus 241 and the first movement locus 210 are drawn with a single stroke. Specifically, the user can move the touch pen so as to draw the fourth movement locus 241 so as to overlap the specific seat image 201 while moving the touch pen so as to draw the first movement locus 210.

As described above, according to the image forming apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, the fourth movement locus 241 and the first movement locus 210 are drawn with a single stroke. Accordingly, the fourth movement locus 241 and the first movement locus 210 can be easily input to the control unit 10.

In the fourth embodiment, the fourth movement locus 241 and the first movement locus 210 may not be drawn with a single stroke. For example, the user can move the touch pen so as to draw the first movement locus 210 after moving the touch pen so as to draw at least one fourth movement locus 241 inside the seat area 232. Therefore, the user can move the touch pen so as to draw the fourth movement locus 241 and the first movement locus 210 separately (discontinuously). As a result, for example, after drawing the fourth movement locus 241, the user can redraw the first movement locus 210 after reconfirming the order of setting the plurality of seat images 201. Thereby, the user can set the order convenient for distributing a plurality of seats T to each seat accurately.

Further, the image forming apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment does not cause the image forming unit 140 to form an output image on the sheet T corresponding to the seat image 201 specified by the fourth movement locus 241 (output an output product). Can not be set). As a result, when there are absentees, a plurality of seats T can be easily distributed to seats other than absentees. For absentees, an image can be formed on the sheet T and distributed at a later date. Alternatively, the output image corresponding to the absentee can be transmitted to the absentee by e-mail.

Further, in response to the seat image 201 specified by the fourth movement locus 241, the processing unit 102 can generate an output image indicating a translation of the document. Specifically, a translated sentence of the document is prepared in advance, and image data indicating the translated sentence is stored in the storage unit 40. The processing unit 102 generates an output image based on the image data indicating the translated sentence, corresponding to the seat image 201 specified by the fourth movement locus 241. Then, the image forming unit 140 outputs the sheet T on which the output image indicating the translation is formed as the sheet T distributed to the seat image 201 specified by the fourth movement locus 41. As a result, for example, when a test taker who takes an exam using a language other than Japanese and a test taker who takes a test using Japanese, a plurality of seats T can be easily distributed to each seat.

Furthermore, the processing unit 102 can create a list of identification information. Hereinafter, the list creation process executed by the control unit 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 18 and 19. FIG. 18 shows an example of the composite trajectory 260 according to the fourth embodiment. Specifically, FIG. 18 is a diagram in which a composite locus 260 is drawn on the seating chart image 200 shown in FIG. The composite trajectory 260 includes a fourth movement trajectory 261 and a first movement trajectory 210. FIG. 19 shows an example of an output product (sheet T) of the list creation process.

As illustrated in FIG. 18, when the user moves the touch pen so as to pass a plurality of seat images 201 and draw zigzag lines on the display unit 20 (detection unit 30), the display unit 20 displays a plurality of seats. A seating chart image 200 including an image 201 and a composite locus 260 are displayed.
